Also known as the total curvature. The linear element of the indicatrix ds_P=sqrt(ds_T^2+ds_B^2).

An umbilic point, also called simply an umbilic, is a point on a surface at which the curvature is the same in any direction.

v=(dr)/(dt), (1) where r is the radius vector and d/dt is the derivative with respect to time. Expressed in terms of the arc length, v=(ds)/(dt)T^^, (2) where T^^ is the unit ...

An natural equation which expresses a curve in terms of its arc length s and tangential angle phi.

The anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equation is the system of partial differential equations ...

Given a system of two ordinary differential equations x^. = f(x,y) (1) y^. = g(x,y), (2) let x_0 and y_0 denote fixed points with x^.=y^.=0, so f(x_0,y_0) = 0 (3) g(x_0,y_0) ...

A Lyapunov function is a scalar function V(y) defined on a region D that is continuous, positive definite, V(y)>0 for all y!=0), and has continuous first-order partial ...

Let Q(x) be a real or complex piecewise-continuous function defined for all values of the real variable x and that is periodic with minimum period pi so that Q(x+pi)=Q(x). ...

An equation is a mathematical expression stating that two or more quantities are the same as one another, also called an equality, formula, or identity.

Using the notation of Byerly (1959, pp. 252-253), Laplace's equation can be reduced to (1) where alpha = cint_c^lambda(dlambda)/(sqrt((lambda^2-b^2)(lambda^2-c^2))) (2) = ...
